SIVIOIIZNG PIPE.

Application filed July 559,

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that 1, DAVID L. liliLL, citizenof the United States, and resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroeand lp tate ol New York, have invented certain new and usefulimprovements in a taniokingl ipe, or which the following is aspecification.

The present invention relates to smoking pipes and an object of theinvention is to so connect. the mouth piece with the bowl that directsuction from the bottom or the bowl into the mouth of the smoker isimpossible, so that the sucking into the nijouth oi the nicotine andsaliva mixture that quickly fOllllSiLIlCl accumulates in the bowl ol anordinary pipe, while in use, is eliminated. Another object oi theinvention is to provide a connection between the bowl and the mouthpiece which will separate the lnirning tobacco in the bowl from thesaliva, thus e.n abling the obtaining of a clean dry smoke. 5 tillanother object of the invention is to provide a pipe that will be assanitary as possible, provision being made which will enable the readycleaning oi all portions thereof.

To these and other ends, the invention consists 01 certain parts andcombinations of parts, all oil which will be hereinafter described: thenovel features being pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a side view or a pipe constructed in accordance with thisinvention;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the pipe; and

Fig. 3 is a vertical section.

Referrin more )articularlv to the drawv ings, 1 indicates the bowlhaving a short e);- tension .2 with a. passageway 9 therein, and 5indicates the mouth piece having a passage way 10 therein.

Between the mouth piece 5 and the extension 2 of the bowl there isprovided a connecting member 3. This connecting member has twolongitudinally extending and parallel passageways T and 8, one above theother, the passageway "7 being connected to the bowl extension 2 by ascrew threaded projection l and the passageway 8 being connected to themouth piece 0 by a screw threaded extension 6, the passageway "i'aligning with the passageway 9 in the bowl extension 2 and thepassageway 8 aligning with the passageway 10 in the mouth piece 5. Atthe inner end of the passageway 7 an externallythreaded tube 11" isarranged with which a cup or cap 11 connects, while at the outer end ofthe pas- 1922. Serial No. 578K288.

provided with which a cup 12 connects.

These two cups 11 and 12 may contain absorbent cotton and serve tocollect any material from the passageways 7 and S. The connecting member3 also has two passage ways and connected by passageways and 8, arrangedparallel to each other, and at right angles to the passageways fl and S,the connecting passageway ldbeing nearer to the mouth piece than theconnecting passa eway 13, which is nearer to the bowl. Aligned with thetwo passageways 1dandlS are two externally threaded tubes 15" and 14:,whichare bevelled at 18 and 14t respectively, so that passageways areprovided to two removable cups 15 and 16, secured respectively to theprojecting ends of the tubes 13 and 145 in the cups 11, 12, 15 and 16considerable absorbent cotton may be arranged.

1n the use of the pipe, the bowl 1 is filled with tobacco in the usualmanner and the through the bowl as is customary. The saliva from themouth runs down the passageway 10 and collects in the cups 122, 15 and16. The smoke from the bowl passes from the passageway '4" tothepassageway 8 through the two passageways 13 and 1d and is thusseparated from the saliva, thus giving a smoke in which no saliva orcondensed matters will enter the mouth piece. To a certainezrtent thedry smoke from the bowl will take up or absorb some of the moisture inthe passageway 10, thus tending still. further to maintain suchpassageway in a dry condi tion. Should the user oi' the pipe tail toclean the same, as often as should be necessary, any saliva andcondensed matters will t ad to collect toward the passageway 13 and menshould this fill up, a condition which should not be permitted to occur,the smoke still has the passageway 1% to rely upon without creating-asuction on the saliva and condoused matter. Furtl'iermore, any furtherclogging oi the passageway 13 or 141 still leaves the other passagewayopen for direct draft without drawing the clogged matter into the mouthoi the user. There will be a slight deposit of condensed matter in thepassageway 7 from the, smoke but this is not mixed with the saliva whichis confined to the passageway 8. The cleaning of the pipe may be easilyeffected by'removing the cap 11 to clean the passageway 7, the cap 12 toclean the passageway 8 and the caps 15 and 16 to clean the passageways13 and 14:, respectively.

What I claim as my inventionand desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl, a mouth piece, and abody-connecting said bowl and mouth piece, and provided with twopassageways, one of which aligns with the passageway of the bowl and theother oi which aligns with the passageway of the mouth piece, said bodyalso having two other passageways connecting the first two namedpassageways, one of said last named passageways being further removedfrom the mouth piece than the other.

2. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl, a mouth piece, and a bodyconnecting said bowl and mouth piece and provided with two parallelpassageways arranged one above the other, one of said passageways beingaligned with the passageway oil. the bowl and the other of saidpassageways being aligned with the passageway of the mouth piece, saidbody having also two other passageways at right angles to the first twonamed passageways and connecting said first named passageway, one ofsaid passageways being farther removed from the mouth piece than theother.

3. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl, a mouth piece, a body connectingthe bowl and tl'iemouth piece,- provided with two parallel passageways,one of which connects at one end with the bowl,-and the other of whichconnects with the mouth piece, and provided with two other parallelpassageways arranged at right anglesto the first named passageway and Iconnecting the latter, one nearer the mouth piece than the other, acollecting cup at the end of the first named passageway opposite thebowl, a. collecting cup at the end of the second named passagewayopposite the mouth piece, and collecting cups connecting with thelowermost passageway of the two first mentioned passageways opposite thelower ends of the two second mentioned passageways.
